[QRP] Wattmeters / SWR Bridges FS

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

Wattmeter / SWR Bridges For Sale:

These first two items are ideal for QRP use.  The wattmeter
has a 1 watt scale, and they are very small, so would be ideal
for portable use.

TriStar SWR-10 combination wattmeter / SWR Bridge / Antenna Tuner
This unit has a wattmeter with scales of 100 W, 10 W, and 1 W
full scale.  It also has an SWR Bridge built in, along with an
antenna tuner.  It was obviously made for 11 meter use, but it
works well on other frequencies as well.  The tuner portion
works fine on 10 m, 12, and 15 m.  The wattmeter seems accurate
from 20 meters thru 10 meters, while the SWR portion seems fine
in all of the HF spectrum.
It is physically fairly small (only 5 X 3 X 1), so would be
ideal for portable use.
This one works fine, and looks close to new.  $25

ParaDynamics PDC-5 combination wattmeter / Antenna Tuner
This is basically the same as the TriStar unit above.  It
looks exactly the same, other than the name.  The wattmeter
and antenna tuner portion work fine, however the SWR portion
of this unit is inoperative.  It looks fine.  $12


Heath HM-2102 VHF wattmeter, covering 50 to 160 MHz.

This wattmeter is designed for use on VHF frequencies, so is
ideal for 2 meter use. It can be used to check SWR as well as
a standard wattmeter. With 250 and 25 watt scales, it is ideal
for VHF use. It has a remote sensor that can either be left
inside the meter, or separated from the actual meter by about
3 feet. There are SO-239 connectors for both input and output.

This particular meter works great, looks very close to new
and includes paper work for $50.


Heath HM-15 SWR Bridge
It is an HF SWR Bridge, with SO-239 connectors on the back.
The front has the meter on the left, and two knobs to the
right. It is the same size as the HD-15 phone patch. This
one works fine and is in nice cosmetic shape. Paper work
included for $20.

HF SWR Bridge
This unit is in a 5 by 4 by 3 inch aluminum enclosure.  It
has a nice edgewise mounted meter at the top, with the
sensitivity control in the middle, and the forward/reflected
switch at the bottom.  It works fine and looks OK as well. $15
